A Positive Proof that Cancer can be
Cared.

Mr. A. r. Stands is a well-known
farmer, whose residence is in Spart
anburg, S. G. He is man of means
and education. His standing in his
community is A l for truth and prob
ity. While Mr.. Stands refrnins from
using the word cancer, the facts he
gives settles the question of the ma
ture of his disease. He says his ply
sicians never said the sore was can
Ger, but that they all warned him that
there was great danger that it might
turn into cancer. At any rate,none
of them could afford Mr.. Shands the
slightest relief, and finally he was
cured by S. S. S., the finest and only
absolutely certain blood purifier in
the world. Below is Mr.. Stands
own letter about his cure. Let any

him the exact effects OF the wonder

The many physicians whom L had
cosulted were unable to do me any

the sore, and it became more virulent
than ever; so much so, indeed, that
my family insisted that l should leave
off the medicine. persisted in using
the S. S. S. At the end of two
months the sore was entirely healed.
Thinking that the evil was ont OF my

Marshal Gross, Of Kentucky, Becomes In
tsrested and slaps Growers Leg.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
United States Marshall Gross, Of Ken
lucky, Is diamond IN the rough and g
stormer. He is great IN size, big Ia
heart, and enc Of the best fellows on
earth. This much by the way Of preface
to what I am going to relate, which is
this: Jack" as he allows all Of his
friends to call him, called with friends
to pay his respects 70 the presi=
dent, and to say few words to that
great and good man in the interest OF q
friend who wanted an appointment. The
president received the Kentucky delega-
ton eOurteOusiy, and treated Captain
Gross with warmth and consideration.
The latter was smart enough to see that
he had made an impression upon the
president, and he determined to make
the best Of it. With this end in view Hs
drew his chair close mp to his excsllensy,
and vigorously and earnestly began to
plead for his friend. This is about what
he said:
snow, Mr.. President. this is just your
kind OF man. know what you went.
You want an honest, business man. No
one can force bad men on YOU. I know
that Mr.. Hugh Rogers can carry every
county IN Kentucky. He Is popular,
honest and capable, and, Mr.. President,
he has got the courage OF a lion. Look
at him. Mr.. President. Do yOu know
that that man would enter mountain
cave in Kentucky to capture a NOON
sinner If he knew he would be blowed
to hell in two minutes. These are facts
I ana telling you, Mr.. President; cold
stubborn facts"
While he was making this earnest
speech, "Jaek" had got closer add closer
to the president, and had rested his right
hand on the presidents immense tAigh;
and at the conclusion Of his remarks he
lifted his hand and brought it down On
the presidents thigh with Smash that
startled the company. The pzezi.sel.t
drew back little, smiled at the anocl-
scious familiarity Of the innocsat Ken
tuckiaD, but said nothing. After leaving
the white house. one Of the party SAID:
''Isook here, Jack, you should not have
been so emphatic with the president g
to slap MIN on the leg as hard IS you
ssDid do that2" asked Jack.
"Yes. you did"

der, I meant it.

A sensitive Lady.


Washington Special.
Since the present administration cam'
into power there has been appointed II
the departments a number Of ladies from
the south, the widows and daughters o.
confederate generals aad relics OF the de
cayed aEistOcracy. They cause a great
deal Of trouble because Of their notions
and the impression that they are enti-
| tied to more consideration than the
other clerks, so that the chiefs of the
division to which they happen TO be
assigned always try to get them trsns-
terred to some other branch of the ser
vice where they can find things as they
we're ''before the war" They are par
| tieulRrly sensitive to the presence In the
departments Of relics of the hated ''radi-
GALS" IN the shape OF gentlemen and
ladies Of color, and often refuse TO work
in the same room with "niggers." The
clerks of the interior department are Just
now enjoying the modification of de-
scendant of one Of the F. F. VS. who
has made herself very obnoxious because
Of the airs she assumed. When she was
first appointed there was not anything in
the building to suit her taste. Her desk
was not good enough, her chair was not
comfortable, the atmosphere OF the room
was offensive, it was always either too
hot or too cold, the requirements Of the
Office were too much Ike those Of a
boarding school to please her. There
was not an hour in the day that she
could not find something to cOmpll Ia of
and IN less than a month after she took
her place she was not on speaking terms
with any of the people in her room.
One lady from New Hampshire was
so obnoxious that the heightened Vir
ginian succeeded in getting her trans
ferred to another room. In her place
was sent a very pretty girl, with dark
complexion, black, curly tresses, and q
quiet, deferential manner. The Vir-
gilman at once took her under her pat
ronage, kissed the girl as she arrived
every morning and when she left the
office at night. At noon they would eat
their lunches together, and the new clerk
waited on her ladyshiP in IN humble,
gentle way. But one morning there
was an explosion. The daily papers
contained an account of a wedding in
the aristocratic colored circles Of Wash
ington, and in the list Of those who
attended was the name of the new clerk.
The Virginian at once made an inquiry
and the modest girl expressed great sur
prise that the Vrginian did not know
that she was cOlored. The latter was so
furious that she put on her things and
left the department while the other clerks
could not suppress their amusement.
The next day her ladyship went to the
secretary and demanded that the colored
girl should be dismissed for deception.
When this was refused, she insisted
upon being transferred to another Office,
which was done.

"TelI me something about social life
in Japan said the reporter. First of
all have you any over dudes there?'
Tomati at first did not 'icatch on, -
but understood what was meant when
fashionable young men" was substitu-
ted for dudes. He remarked that the
swell young men in the city of Toxic
had their clubs like Europeans, where
they went to pass the time. every
thing European and American" he said,
sis considered the height of fashion IN
Japan among the high-tOned people.
Three years ago the sack coat was all
the rage. The mass OF people, however,
wear the old time costumes. European
dress Is adopted IN the army and navy,
by cOurtiers and by the police
The reporter, in the cOurse OF CONVEX
sRtion, elected other interesting data.
japanese young men Of fashion visit the
girls inst as they do in this country, take
them out to restaurants and fill them up
with ice cream. They have balls and
parties where waltzing is INDUCED In sd
lIbitum. The waltz, however, is a very
recent innovation, but Is liked by the
japanese exceedingly. The costumes
Of the ladies in Japan are more In conso-
nance with the dress reform movement
than those Of American and European
girls. First Of all, no eorsets are worn.
The long silk sash supplies the place Of
steel and whalebOne. This sash is wrap
ped round and round the waist loosely,
aud the ends hang down behind. There
is no large, elaborate bow pinned against
the back like those seen in the represen-
tatiOns Of the "Aikado'' on our stage.
Some Of the ultra fashionable girls of
Toxic, however, have adopted a method
Of making their waists look smaller &C
cording to the European modes, but no
corset Is used-simply a belt buckled
around the waist.
The ladies are fond Of picking the
the strings Of the banjo, and are up to
the times in fashion which has been
greatly in vogue among American girls.
japanese girls pretLily attire them
selves In much the same underwars as
American women, but their stockings are
built more on the order Of a mitten for
the hand, there being a separate recep-
taele for the big toe.
